SurfSciecne is a project that started when a few average surfers decided that they wanted to learn more about the sport they loved. In the Spring of 2009 we took on the task of learning everything we could about surfing and recording it for other surfers to learn from. We wanted to make it easy for you to learn the same things we had.

We don't claim to know everything, far from it, but its our goal to learn as much as we can. We're not scientists because we have all of the answers, we're scientists because we're actively searching for knowledge. That is what scientists do, ask questions, test hypothesis and let other people know about what they've learned.

Over the year's we've developed a number of tools that are useful for surfers; the Board Rack, Surfboard Match & Best Surfboards Feature are all a result of ideas growing on each other. We now have a directory with over 1,500 surfboard models and more than 5,000 user generated reviews. With this information, we are able to help you find a surfboard that will work for YOU!

Want to learn something else? Ask us a question, if we can't answer you, we will find someone that can. That's what SurfScience.com is about.
